Getting Steam Machine-verified will be easier than on Steam Deck
, by Thibaut
Before releasing a game on PC, studios usually try to get Steam Deck Verified, which certifies that their title will run properly on Valve's portable console. A similar system will be implemented for the future Steam Machine.
In an interview with Game Developer, Lawrence Yang, a designer at Valve, said that the Steam Machine Verified badge will be easier to obtain than its counterpart on Steam Deck.
"One easy rule of thumb is that if your title is Verified on Steam Deck, it will be Verified on Steam Machine."
VR games that want to benefit from Steam Frame certification will have to go through a different procedure. Valve has not yet detailed the requirements for obtaining these badges.
